Tried it again using my Mac, much the same result. The transfer to the key is reported as succesful but very little storage space is used. Then in the car the update is invalid. The Nav info screen show a version 9.12.2.225929 with a date of June 2020, the map list shows the UK map is 2019.Q4

Both 16MB, one was USB3 the other USB2. Although the NaviExtras reports the files transferred OK there is only 46MB used?

Just attempted to do the upgrade. Fingerprint process appears to work but the download is over quite quick, admittedly on a 300Mb connection. Plug into the car and it returns invalid files. Tried it with 2 different memory sticks and formatted as Fat and exFat, all with the same result. Any...

I built a folder and filled it with individual tracks up to the capacity of the intended USB stick ( I have 30,000 to choose from). Sorted the folder by track name to randomise the artists then selected them at 255 tracks at a time and transferred them into subfolders, 10 folders and copied them...

If the gross train weight is the same as the gross vehicle weight you can't tow ( no "spare" kgs ) I think there was a tow bar from one manufacturer but only to be used for cycle carriers (might have been Brink?)

I have an EV for a week's worth of local journeys without range anxiety, never use a roadside charger so don't have to worry about them working and charge on sunny days that means minimal cost. I have an ICE vehicle for longer journeys so refills in minutes, tows the caravan as if its not...

This IPA would definitely do your brain cells no good

Having received a new selector top in the post (annoyed with paying postage but wouldn't buy it from the local stealer as a matter of principle) replaced it it about 10 minutes. Using the new button as a template I cut a hole in a piece of thick hard card (a bonio box:cool:) to act as a heat...

I can't see any fixing points so I am sure nothing is missing.

Mine is the same! No empty fixing points

If the whole selector needs replacing then that is NOT a trim component and should be covered under warranty. Not withstanding that I have found the part number 10709105 and is the same as fitted to the ZS EV. I have even more of an issue with the dealer quoting £172 when the part actually...

Car went in for a service today, raised the issue of a peeling finish on the Drive selector top. Returned as it was, the fault is classed as a trim issue which only has a 2 year warranty. They want to replace the entire selector at £172 :eek: I read on hear a couple of thread that peopl have...

Lots of arguments for and against rotation. Personally driving my grandchildren around almost every day I subscribe to considering replacing tyres when below 3mm, possibly delaying a little if that occurs in springtime but definitely for winter. I get about 3 times the life out of the rears than...

Service is due at it will be one of the issues to be raised. Lights will switch to High beam when there is approaching traffic, worst soon after starting so may be condensation related. Also have a peeling drive selector/park button.

I fitted a Viofo front and rear in mine, bit of a faff getting the cable through to the tailgate but most cars are. Lighter socket fuse for the switched and the car seat fuse for the continuous as neither of these are monitored by the ECU. Remove the trim under the Steering wheel to get good...

Frequently find our twin red MG5 in the car park Monday mornings where the better half goes for her exercise class. As for EVs in general we now see quite a lot. Only yesterday we were one of 3 in the queue at a set of lights. me with a Tesla and an Audi. By the next set the Tesla had been...

You would have to leave it unused at 100% for weeks rather than days to have any chance of detecting a deterioration and even then only with specialist testing.

The nominal at rest fully charged voltage for a lead acid car battery is 12.6-12.7 volts, the measurement has to be fairly accurate as the difference between full and 50% (the lowest you should take one down to) is 0.6v The problem is they are a little sensitive to environmental effects. When...

It is not that unusual for the vehicle manufacturers to limit the 12v battery to 1 year warranty, it is classed as a consumable component. When component manufacturers offer an extended warranty it is the component manufacturer that is responsible for that warranty not the company that used that...
